It’s late and that was ugly, and I’m at Willie Waylon McClyde’s place watching the Omaha Beach scene from Saving Private Ryan to cheer up. So let’s get to it and through it.
OFFENSE
About half this game went like you’d have thought on offense. Outside of some braindead penalties, the Longhorns took it to the Bears on the ground to the tune of three football fields’ worth of ground-pounding punishment. Chris Warren showed the tackle-breaking power we came to expect from his 250+ pound frame, and D’Onta Foreman shouldered his way forward in a crowded 2017 NFL running back class (and yes, folks, he’s jumping early) with a dynamic 157-yard showcase that featured speed, power and a Swoopesian end zone dive that staked Texas to a promising 24-point lead.
